D.  on  special  request  and  Avhen  25  per  cent  of  the

shipping  preference  may  be  paid  10  per  cent  with  order

Strict  compliance  with  these  terms  will  save  corre¬ 
spondence  at  shipping  time  and  consequent  delay  in  de¬ 
liveries. 

HCW  TO  ORDER.  To  avoid  delay,  use  the  order 
sheet  received  with  this  catalogue.  Write,  or  print 
your  name  very  plcirily,  exactly  as  it  should  appear  mi 
the  label  of  your  shipment.

sure  of  getting  all  the  varieties  wanted. 

TRANSPORTATION.  We  prepay  transportation 
charges  on  all  orders  paid  for  in  advance  to  all  points 
within  the  United  States,  shipments  by  parcel  post  or 
express  at  our  discretion.  Orders  sold  at  wholesale,  or

Money  Order,  Rank  Draft,  or  by  Personal  Check,  pay¬ 
able  to  Indian  Spring  Farms,  Inc.,  and  not  to  individ¬ 
uals.  Do  not  send  currency  or  silver  except  by  regis¬ 
tered  letter. 

SUBSTITUTIONS.  No  substitutions  will  be  made 
unless  your  order  so  requests.  With  your  permission, 
we  are  glad  to  send  as  a  substitute  a  similar  variety  of 
equal  or  higher  value,  when  possible,  for  any  item  we 
are  unable  to  fill. 


SHIPMENTS.  Peony  shipments  begin  as  soon  after 
September  1  as  roots  are  matured,  depending  on  the 
season.  Bulbs,  October  1,  or  as  soon  as  imports  are 
received. 

Advannce  orders  will  be  filled  as  far  as  possible  :n 
rotation  as  received,  and  have  precedence  over  later  or¬ 
ders.  As  we  start  the  shipping  season  with  several 
thousands  of  advance  orders  for  which  it  is  not  possible 
to  prepare  stock  until  growth  is  mature,  it  is  obvious 
that  late  purchasers  can  not  expect  immediate  ship¬ 
ments. 

CLAIMS.  We  guarantee  the  safe  arrival  of  ship¬ 
ments  to  all  points  within  the  United  States,  but  can 
not  be  responsible  for  losses  occuring  during  transpor¬ 
tation  on  shipments  to  foreign  countries.  All  claims 
must  be  made  promptly  on  receipt  of  goods. 

GUARANTEE.  All  plants  shipped  are  guaranteed 
to  be  true  to  name,  vigorous  and  healthy  when  received. 
Should  any  error  occur  in  labeling,  or  otherwise,  and 
any  stock  shipped  eventually  prove  untrue,  we  will  re 
place  it  with  true  stock,  and  you  may  keep  the  plants 
first  sent. 


Landscape  with  Peonies 

Interesting,  indeed,  is  the  Mythological  origin  of  the 
Peony.  When  Hercules,  the  son  of  Jove,  wounded  Pluto 
during  the  Trojan  war  by  piercing  him  with  a  swift 
shaft  through  his  huge  shoulder,  Pluto  sought  relief 
from  the  grievous  pain  that  tortured  his  soul  at  the 
palace  of  Jove  on  lofty  Mr.  Olympus.  There  wise  Paeon, 
physician  of  the  gods,  who  had  been  a  pupil  under 
Aesculapius,  god  of  medicine,  was  called.  Thereupon, 
Paeon  called  in  consultation  Apollo,  the  great  god  of 
healing,  who  was  the  father  of  Aesculapius.  Apollo,  in 
turn,  made  intercession  with  his  worthy  parents,  Zeus 
and  Leto,  with  the  result  that  Paeon  received  the  first 
Peony  from  the  hands  of  Leto  on  Mt.  Olympus.  With 
this  pain-assuaging  herb  he  healed  the  wound  of  Pluto. 
This  cure  caused  much  jealousy  in  the  breast  of  Aescu¬ 
lapius  and  he  plotted  the  death  of  Paeon.  Pluto,  how¬ 
ever,  in  great  gratitude  for  what  Paeon  had  done,  de¬ 
termined  to  save  him  from  the  fate  of  mortals  and 
changed  him  into  the  living  plant  that  had  effected  the 
cure — the  Paeonia.  Even  down  to  the  present  this  name 
has  endured,  and  the  Officinalis  species,  found  native  to 
southern  Europe,  is  still  highly  regarded  for  its  medi¬ 
cinal  properties. 

Of  greater  interest  at  tha  present  time  is  another 
herbaceous  species,  P.  albiflora,  known  as  the  Chinese 
Peony.  It  is  from  this  primitive  type,  found  native  in 
the  rigorous  climate  of  northern  China  and  Siberia,  that 
the  Modern  Chinensis  Peony  varieties  have  been  devel¬ 
oped. 

So  remarkable  have  been  the  results  accomplished 
through  years  of  steadfast  devotion  and  untiring  effort 
on  the  part  of  the  Peony  lovers  and  hybridizers  that 
today  the  modern  Peony  is  the  most  superb  and  out¬ 
standing  flower  that  grows  in  our  gardens. 

In  all  the  different  forms  a  varied  color  range  is  af¬ 
forded  From  purest  white,  the  shadings  vary  through 
almost  innumerable  tints  of  pink,  rose  and  carmine  to 
crimson  and  darkest  red.  Certain  flowers  show  hues  of 
silver,  lilac  and  lavender,  and  many  have  petals  of  yel¬ 
low,  or  reflect  tints  of  gold,  as  a  remainder  of  the 
yellow  stamens  that  once  were  present.  While  hybri¬ 
dizers  have  long  been  striving  to  produce  a  yellow 
Peony  and  have  approximated  their  ambitions  in  such 
fine  flowers  as  Primevere,  Laura  Dessert  and  Golden 
Dawn,  which  opens  a  distinct  shade  of  canary  yellow 
and  slowly  shade  to  a  white,  there  is  yet  no  true  yellow 
Peony  of  fixed  color 

The  modern  Peony,  being  born  of  rugged  parentage, 
is  perfectly  hardy  and  will  thrive  in  the  coldest  cli¬ 
mates  without  winter  protection  It  may  be  grown  suc¬ 
cessfully  wherever  the  ground  freezes  during  any  part 
of  the  winter,  and  is  at  its  best  in  the  colder  regions 
where  most  perennials  find  it  hard  to  endure.  Because 
of  its  hardiness  the  Peony  is  the  ideal  Flower  of  the 
North.

Peonies  Are  Easy  to  Grow 

Peonies  are  easy  to  grow  and  will  do  well  in  almost 
any  location  where  they  have  any  reasonable  chance. 
They  will  thrive  with  less  care  and  attention  than  most 
perennials,  yet  they  are  worthy  of  special  care  and  will 
repay  for  special  cultivation.  Once  planted,  they  will 
live  for  years,  increasing  in  beauty  and  value  from  sea¬ 
son  to  season.  Because  they  are  slow  to  become  estab¬ 
lished  and  resent  being  disturbed,  care  should  be  taken 
that  new  plantings  be  suitably  located  and  the  planting 
properly  done. 

WHEN  TO  PLANT.  Growers  begin  fall  shipping 
after  the  eyes  are  matured,  usually  about  September 
15,  and  planting  may  successfully  be  done  any  time  be¬ 
fore  the  ground  freezes  up  for  winter.  Peonies  also 
may  be  planted  in  the  spring,  if  roots  are  obtainable. 
The  earlier  spring  plantings  are  made  the  better. 

WHERE  TO  PLANT.  Peonies  should  be  planted  in 
fertile,  well-drained  soil,  and  where  they  will  get  the 
full  sun  at  least  half  the  day.  They  will  not  do  well  in 
poorly  drained  ground,  or  where  water  stands  about 
their  roots  during  any  part  of  the  year;  and  they  will 
not  bloom  well,  if  close  under  trees  or  in  full  shade. 

NEVER  PLANT  PEONIES  IN  SOIL  WHERE 
PEONIES  HAVE  BEEN  GROWN  BEFORE. 

Peonies  for  Spring  Planting 

Peonies  may  be  successfully  planted  in  the  spring. 

For  the  convenience  of  customers  who  find  it  desir¬ 
able  to  make  spring  plantings,  we  carry  large  stocks  of 
our  Peonies  in  storage  for  spring  sale  and  are  prepared 
to  make  shipments  as  wanted  up  to  May  1.  Orders 
for  spring  shipments  should  be  placed  as  early  in  ad¬ 
vance  as  possible  to  insure  getting  all  varieties  wanted. 

All  roots  in  storage  will  be  planted  about  May  1,  and 
orders  received  after  that  time  will  be  recorded  for  fall 
shipment  unless  we  are  otherwise  instructed. 

Cut  Flowers 

WHEN  CUTTING  PEONIES  ALWAYS  LEAVE 
SOME  LEAVES  ON  EACH  STALK  AND  SOME 
FLOWERS  ON  EACH  PLANT.  IT  PAYS. 

SIZE  OF  DIVISIONS 

Prices  quoted  for  strong  3  to  5  eye  divisions,  with  a 
well  balanced  root  system.  Healthy  and  true 'to  name.

JAPANESE  PEONIES 

The  so-called  Japanese  peonies  are  really  a  type  of 
flower  oceuring  in  the  process  of  development  from  the 
single  flower  to  the  full  double  bloom  which  have  the 
same  wide  guard  petals  as  the  singles  but  in  which  the 
central  stamens  and  anthers  have  become  transformed  into 
narrow,  thick  petaloids  of  various  colors,  or  into  narrow 
petals  tipped  with  vestiges  of  the  yellow  anthers  without 
pollen.  Because  this  type  of  bloom  was  favored  by  Jap¬ 
anese  gardeners,  such  peonies  have  come  to  be  known  as 
Japanese  Peonies.  While  many  of  the  finest  “Japan¬ 
ese”  varieties  have  been  imported  to  this  country  from 
Japan,  equally  good  Japanese  type  peonies  have  been 
selected  from  the  seed  beds  of  growers  in  the  United 
States,  France  and  England. 

Japanese  peonies  in  general  are  strong  growers,  they 
usually  propogate  slowly;  and  the  increased  demand 
for  them  has  made  many  of  the  finer  varieties  very 
scarce.

In  this  group,  we  offer  the  Tenuifolias  and  the  Offi¬ 
cinalis  species,  which  bloom  from  one  to  three  weeks 
earlier  than  the  Chinensis  Peonies.  The  plants  and  the 
flowers  are  very  attractive  and  they  are  desirable  be¬ 
cause  they  add  to  the  length  of  the  Peony  season.

deep  pink.  Very  early.  $1.00

Peony  Collections 

As  an  aid  to  beginners  in  Peony  growing  and  those 
busy  people  who  haven’t  time  to  study  catalog  descripi- 
tions,  we  have  assembled  the  following  collections.  We 
offer  them  with  our  assurance  that  each  variety  is  a 
good  one,  selected  from  the  hundreds  of  different  Peon¬ 
ies,  on  its  merit  alone,  as  one  of  the  best  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  mentioned. 

These  named  collections  are  permanent  features  of 
our  business,  and  years  of  understanding  love  for  Peon¬ 
ies  have  guided  us  in  their  make  up.  Each  is  intended 
to  reflect  a  lasting  credit  to  the  good  will  of  Indian 
Spring  Farms.

IRISES 

Tall  Bearded  Irises 

The  following  list  of  Bearded  Irises  includes  most  of 
the  varieties  we  are  able  to  supply  for  shipment  during 
1929.  In  it  will  be  found  most  of  the  Irises  of  out¬ 
standing  merit  now  in  commerce,  including  many  of 
the  newer  kinds  as  yet  available  only  in  limited  quan¬ 
tities.  These  scarce  varieties  are  only  offered  for  ship¬ 
ment  after  August  1st,  and  orders  received  will  be  book¬ 
ed  for  shipment  at  that  time  unless  otherwise  specified. 

For  the  convenience  of  those  not  thoroughly  familiar 
with  Iris  varieties,  we  have  designated  the  ratings  of 
the  different  varieties  as  determined  by  the  symposium 
of  the  American  Iris  Society,  thus — Asia  9.2.  Where 
no  ratings  is  given,  the  variety  has  not  yet  been  rated 
by  the  society.  While  these*  ratings  are  not  infallible, 
they  very  accurately  depict  the  comparative  merits  of 
the  different  Irises.

TULIPS 

How  to  Plant  Tulips 

Tulips  of  all  kinds  should  be  planted  after  the  leaves 
on  the  trees  begin  to  drop  in  the  fall. 

Set  the  bulbs  4  to  8  inches  apart  in  rows  or  in  groups. 
Plant  early  tulips  4  to  5  inches  deep,  and  the  larger 
late  varieties  5  to  6  inches  below  the  level  of  the 
ground.  In  heavy  soils,  a  little  sand  under  the  bulb  to 
insure  drainage  is  beneficial.  Always  see  that  the  bulb 
is  firmly  imbedded  in  the  soil  and  not  left  hanging  in 
the  hole  with  an  air  space  beneath. 

After  planting,  mulch  the  beds  lightly  with  leaves  or 
clean  straw  as  a  protection  against  heaving  by  the 
frosts.  The  mulch  should  be  carefully  removed  when 
spring  growth  starts. 

Single  Early  Tulips 

These  gay  and  friendly  flowers  are  the  first  of  all  the 
Tulips  to  come  into  bloom.  Their  bright,  cheerful 
colors  are  fitting  heralds  of  the  weeks  of  Tulip  splendor 
that  follow. 

The  early  Tulips  are  at  their  best  when  used  in  mass 
effect.

Darwin  Tulips 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  in  praise  of  this  class  of 
Tulips.  The  Darwins  comprise  the  largest  group  of  all 
the  Tulip  species,  and  are  by  far  the  most  popular  both 
for  garden  and  indoor  planting.  Come  on  long,  strong 
stems  that  make  them  adaptable  to  all  planting 
schemes.  As  cut  flowers,  they  are  very  beautiful  with 
their  long  stems  and  mammoth  size,  and  they  last  for 
many  days.

and  transplant  to  any  place  desired,  when  the  leaves 
turn  brown  and  the  plant  is  dormant.  The  following

ing  the  most  striking  colors.  PACKET  OF  1000

Tigridia  (Tigerflower) 

Tli's  old-fashioned  flower  with  its  brilliant  coloring 
and  curious  tiger  like  blotches  is  rarely  seen  in  present 
day  gardens.  Since  bright  colors  are  now  desired,  the 
Tigrid'as  are  again  in  active  demand.  They  are  sum¬ 
mer  flowering  bulbous  plants  ,  that  bloom  freely  from 
mid  summer  until  frost,  on  stems  2  feet  high.  The 
flowers  are  large,  triangular  in  shape,  often  measuring 
4  to  6  inches  across,  and  are  peculiarly  marked  with 
spots  and  blotches  in  brilliant  shades  or  orange-scarlet, 
yellow,  gold  and  brown.  The  foliage  and  bulbs  are 
similar  in  appearance  to  the  Gladiolus,  and  cultural  re¬ 
quirements  are  the  same.  The  bulbs  are  planted  in  the 
spring  after  danger  of  frost  is  past  and  must  be  dug 
in  the  fall  and  stored  in  a  cool  dry  place  where  they 
will  not  freeze.  Mice  seem'  particularly  fond  of  Tigri 
dias  and  the  bulbs  must  be  carefully  protected  during 
the  whiter. 

Tigridia  pavonia  (Common  Tigerfl  ower  i .  Very  large, 
flat  flowers  with  a  distinct  shell-like  center.  The 
three  large  petals  are  bright  orange-scarlet  and  the 
center  is  clear,  bright  yellow  curiously  blotched  with 
markings  of  gold  and  reddish-brown.  25  c-ts.  each :
